<p>OSSL_DECODER_from_data, OSSL_DECODER_from_bio, OSSL_DECODER_from_fp - Routines to perform a decoding</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/decoder.h&gt;

 int OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(OSSL_DECODER_CTX *ctx, BIO *in);
 int OSSL_DECODER_from_fp(OSSL_DECODER_CTX *ctx, FILE *fp);

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>OSSL_DECODER_from_data() runs the decoding process for the context <i>ctx</i>, with input coming from <i>*pdata</i>, <i>*pdata_len</i> bytes long. Both <i>*pdata</i> and <i>*pdata_len</i> must be non-NULL. When OSSL_DECODER_from_data() returns, <i>*pdata</i> is updated to point at the location after what has been decoded, and <i>*pdata_len</i> to have the number of remaining bytes.</p>

<p>OSSL_DECODER_from_bio() runs the decoding process for the context <i>ctx</i>, with the input coming from the <b>BIO</b> <i>in</i>. Should it make a difference, it&#39;s recommended to have the BIO set in binary mode rather than text mode.</p>

<p>OSSL_DECODER_from_fp() does the same thing as OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(), except that the input is coming from the <b>FILE</b> <i>fp</i>.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(), OSSL_DECODER_from_data() and OSSL_DECODER_from_fp() return 1 on success, or 0 on failure.</p>

<h1 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES</h1>

<p>To decode an RSA key encoded with PEM from a bio:</p>

<pre><code> OSSL_DECODER_CTX *dctx;
 EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
 const char *format = &quot;PEM&quot;;   /* NULL for any format */
 const char *structure = NULL; /* any structure */
 const char *keytype = &quot;RSA&quot;;  /* NULL for any key */
 const unsigned char *pass = &quot;my password&quot;;

 dctx = OSSL_DECODER_CTX_new_for_pkey(&amp;pkey, format, structure,
                                      keytype,
                                      OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_KEYPAIR,
                                      NULL, NULL);
 if (dctx == NULL) {
     /* error: no suitable potential decoders found */
 }
 if (pass != NULL)
     OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_passphrase(dctx, pass, strlen(pass));
 if (OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(dctx, bio)) {
     /* pkey is created with the decoded data from the bio */
 } else {
     /* decoding failure */
 }
 OSSL_DECODER_CTX_free(dctx);</code></pre>

<p>To decode an EC key encoded with DER from a buffer:</p>

<pre><code> OSSL_DECODER_CTX *dctx;
 EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
 const char *format = &quot;DER&quot;;   /* NULL for any format */
 const char *structure = NULL; /* any structure */
 const char *keytype = &quot;EC&quot;;   /* NULL for any key */
 const unsigned char *pass = NULL
 const unsigned char *data = buffer;
 size_t datalen = sizeof(buffer);

 dctx = OSSL_DECODER_CTX_new_for_pkey(&amp;pkey, format, structure,
                                      keytype,
                                      OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_KEYPAIR
                                      | OSSL_KEYMGMT_SELECT_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS,
                                      NULL, NULL);
 if (dctx == NULL) {
     /* error: no suitable potential decoders found */
 }
 if (pass != NULL)
     OSSL_DECODER_CTX_set_passphrase(dctx, pass, strlen(pass));
 if (OSSL_DECODER_from_data(dctx, &amp;data, &amp;datalen)) {
     /* pkey is created with the decoded data from the buffer */
 } else {
     /* decoding failure */
 }
 OSSL_DECODER_CTX_free(dctx);</code></pre>
